A liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometric (LC-MS-MS) method was developed for the determination of the neurotropic-musculotropic spasmolytic agent denaverine and five of its metabolites in urine. In a first step beta-glucuronidase was used to cleave glucuronides in the human urine. After that samples containing denaverine and its phase I metabolites were extracted and cleaned up using an automated solid phase extraction method. An external calibration was used. The analytes were measured employing the multiple reaction-monitoring mode (MRM). The linear dynamic range for denaverine and its five metabolites determination was demonstrated from lower limit of quantification (8.0 ng/ml) to at least 500 ng/ml. The presented method is suitable for pharmacokinetic or toxicokinetic studies. With the help of reference substances some additional potential metabolites could be excluded in the urine samples. To look for additional unknown metabolites the LC-MS-MS system operated on one hand in the precursor ion mode using typical product ions of denaverine and of its metabolites and on the other hand in the product ion mode using postulated protonated molecules [M+H](+). With the help of the chromatographic behaviour and typical fragment ions of the unknown metabolites it was possible to elucidate their structures. Nine until now unknown metabolites were found in the urine samples. However, without reference substances a quantification of these analytes was not possible.  相似文献

Urinary metabolites of cannabidiol (CBD), a non-psychoactive cannabinoid of potential therapeutic interest, were extracted from dog, rat and human urine, concentrated by chromatography on Sephadex LH-20 and examined by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry as trimethylsilyl (TMS), [2H9]TMS, methyl ester-TMS and methyloxime-TMS derivatives. Fragmentation of the metabolites under electron-impact gave structurally informative fragment ions; computer-generated single-ion plots of these diagnostic ions were used extensively to aid metabolite identification. Over fifty metabolites were identified with considerable species variation. CBD was excreted in substantial concentration in human urine, both in the free state and as its glucuronide. In dog, unusual glucoside conjugates of three metabolites (4"- and 5"-hydroxy- and 6-oxo-CBD), not excreted in the unconjugated state, were found as the major metabolites at early times after drug administration. Other metabolites in all three species were mainly acids. Side-chain hydroxylated derivatives of CBD-7-oic acid were particularly abundant in human urine but much less so in dog. In the latter species the major oxidized metabolites were the products of beta-oxidation with further hydroxylation at C-6. A related, but undefined pathway resulted in loss of three carbon atoms from the side-chain of CBD in man with production of 2"-hydroxy-tris,nor-CBD-7-oic acid. Metabolism by the epoxide-diol pathway, resulting in dihydro-diol formation from the delta-8 double bond, gave metabolites in both dog and human urine. It was concluded that CBD could be used as a probe of the mechanism of several types of biotransformation; particularly those related to carboxylic acid metabolism as intermediates of the type not usually seen with endogenous compounds were excreted in substantial concentration.  相似文献

Sensitive and specific methods for the simultaneous determination of gemfibrozil (Lopid), a lipid-lowering agent, and its metabolites in plasma and urine are described. The methods are based on a fully automated high performance liquid chromatographic (HPLC) system with fluorescence detection. Urine samples, diluted with acetonitrile, were directly analysed by HPLC using a flow and eluent programming method. In the case of plasma, gemfibrozil and its main metabolites were extracted from acidified samples and the resulting extracts injected into the chromatographic system. The sensitivity was approximately 100 ng/mL for gemfibrozil and its four metabolites using 0.5 mL plasma or urine. An acyl glucuronide of gemfibrozil excreted in human urine after oral administration of the drug was isolated and its structure and stability examined.  相似文献

The metabolism of clemastine was studied in dogs, horses, and humans after a single dose of Tavegyl. The urine collected was extracted by solid-phase extraction or hydrolyzed with beta-glucuronidase and then extracted by liquid-liquid extraction, prior to analysis for unchanged drug and phase I and II metabolites by liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry. The metabolites were identified by their molecular mass and interpretation of the product ion spectra, since no standard substances were available. Unchanged drug was recovered in urine samples from dogs and humans, but not from horses. In dogs and humans, the phase I metabolite, norclemastine, was identified, and clemastine metabolites with one and two additional oxygens were found in all three species. In horses and dogs monohydroxylation on one of the aromatic rings or the adjacent methyl group was favored while, in humans, the additional oxygen was positioned on either the aromatic or the aliphatic part of the structure, and the aliphatic reaction seemed to result in at least three isomers. In the metabolites with two additional oxygens, both the oxygens were found on the aliphatic fragment in humans and dogs, whereas they were situated on the aromatic part of the structure in horses. In human patients, glucuronidated monohydroxyclemastine was recovered, and in urine from horses both mono- and dihydroxyclemastine glucuronides were identified, while phase II metabolites could not be recovered from the dog urine. Clemastine metabolism in dogs and horses has, to our knowledge, not been studied before, and new metabolites from humans are presented in this article. Thus, the metabolites described in the present work have not been previously reported in the literature.  相似文献

The mass spectra of the following common anti-epileptic agents; phensuximide, methsuximide, ethosuximide, ethotoin, mephenytoin, diphenylhydantoin, trimethadione, paramethadione, primidone and phenacemide, have been recorded and interpreted. In addition the mass spectra of succinimide, α-phenylsuccinimide and the N-deuterated derivative of ethotoin were studied. The investigated compounds fragment in an interesting manner and give rise to stable ions by which means they are readily identified. The most diagnostic fragmentation in the majority of the spectra was the expulsion of a (CO)2NR fragment from the molecular ion.  相似文献

A rapid procedure for the analysis of the main nicotine metabolites (cotinine, trans-3′-hydroxycotinine) in urine has been worked out. The procedure includes isolation of nicotine and its metabolites from urine by means solid–liquid extraction technique using resin Amberlite XAD-2 and then quantitation by the use of thin-layer chromatography with densitometry (in reflection mode). GC–MS was applied to confirm the results obtained by TLC. The procedure was applied to the analysis of cotinine concentrations in urine samples taken from children living in Upper Silesia region (Poland). Among 444 investigated children we did not find cotinine almost in 60% but in 15% of this population, there were children who could have been exposed to cigarette smoke.  相似文献

A method for the simultaneous determination of nicergoline and three of its metabolites in human plasma and urine has been developed using high-performance liquid chromatography-atmospheric pressure ionization mass spectrometry. Nicergoline and its metabolites were extracted from the plasma and urine samples with chloroform and separated on a reversed-phase ODS column. The eluents were led to the atmospheric pressure ionization interface and then analysed in the selected-ion monitoring mode. The detection limits of nicergoline and three of its metabolites were ca. 2 ng/ml in plasma and ca. 10 ng/ml in urine, at a signal-to-noise ratio of 4.  相似文献

A liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometric (LC-MS-MS) method was developed and validated for the determination of the anticholinergic and antimuscarinc drug propiverine and eight of its metabolites in serum, urine, faeces and different tissue samples of rats. Samples containing propiverine and its metabolites in serum and urine and in the supernatants of faeces and tissue homogenates were extracted and cleaned up using an automated solid phase extraction (SPE) method. An external calibration was used. The analytes were measured employing the multiple reaction monitoring mode (MRM). A sufficient response over the range of 10-1000 ng/ml was demonstrated. The lower limit of quantification of the nine substances was 10 ng/ml. The presented method is suitable for pharmacokinetic or toxicokinetic studies. To look for additional unknown metabolites, the LC-MS-MS system operated in the precursor ion mode using typical product ions of propiverine and of its metabolites. With the help of the chromatographic behaviour and typical fragment ions of the unknown metabolites, it was possible to elucidate their structure. Five until now unknown metabolites were found in the urine and faeces samples. However, without reference substances, a quantification of these analytes was not possible.  相似文献

Boldione (1,4-androstadiene-3,17-dione) is a direct precursor (prohormone) to the anabolic steroid boldenone (1,4-androstadiene-17beta-ol-3-one). It is advertised as a highly anabolic/androgenic compound promoting muscularity, enhancing strength and overall physical performance, and is available on the Internet and in health stores. This work was undertaken to determine and characterize boldione and its metabolites in human urine, using both liquid chromatography with electrospray ionization mass spectrometry and gas chromatography with mass spectrometry and derivatization. Boldione and its three metabolites were detected in dosed human urine after dosing a healthy volunteer with 100 mg boldione. The excretion studies showed that boldione and its metabolites were detectable in urine for 48 h after oral administration, with maximum excretion rates after 1.8 and 3.6 h (boldenone case). The amounts of boldione and boldenone excreted in urine from this 100 mg dose were 34.45 and 15.95 mg, respectively.  相似文献

A rapid thin-layer densitometric method for the quantitative determination of salicylic acid and its metabolites in urine or plasma is described. The method is specific and very sensitive. Nanogram quantities of salicylic acid and its metabolites, both free and conjugated, may be estimated. Known metabolites, as well as the newly described gentisuric acid, were estimated quantitatively in urine from a patient treated with aspirin.  相似文献

Mitragyna speciosa (Kratom in Thai), a Thai medical plant, is misused as herbal drug of abuse. Besides the most abundant alkaloids mitragynine (MG) and paynantheine (PAY), several other alkaloids were isolated from Kratom leaves, among them the third abundant alkaloid is speciogynine (SG), a diastereomer of MG. The aim of this present study was to identify the phase I and II metabolites of SG in rat urine after the administration of a rather high dose of the pure alkaloid and then to confirm these findings using human urine samples after Kratom use. The applied liquid chromatography coupled to low- and high-resolution mass spectrometry (LC-HRMS-MS) provided detailed information on the structure in the MS(n) mode particularly with high resolution. For the analysis of the human samples, the LC separation had to be improved markedly allowing the separation of SG and its metabolites from its diastereomer MG and its metabolites. In analogy to MG, besides SG, nine phase I and eight phase II metabolites could be identified in rat urine, but only three phase I and five phase II metabolites in human urine. These differences may be caused by the lower SG dose applied by the user of Kratom preparations. SG and its metabolites could be differentiated in the human samples from the diastereomeric MG and its metabolites comparing the different retention times determined after application of the single alkaloids to rats. In addition, some differences in MS(2) and/or MS(3) spectra of the corresponding diastereomers were observed.  相似文献

A rapid, convenient, sensitive and selective reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatographic method was developed to measure tiaprofenic acid, its reduced and oxidized metabolites and their conjugates in biological fluids. The method involved direct injections of plasma and urine samples into the chromatograph before and after alkaline hydrolysis of the conjugates. Concentrations as low as 0.5 micrograms/ml of the drug in plasma and urine were quantifiable. The method was suitable for analysis of tiaprofenic acid and its metabolites in biological fluids after administration of therapeutic doses. Several other non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs which were applied to the system did not interfere with the assay.  相似文献

Febuxostat is a novel nonpurine type of highly selective xanthine oxidoreductase inhibitor. A rapid and sensitive ultra‐high‐performance liquid chromatography–quadrupole time‐of‐flight mass spectrometry method for simultaneous separation and determination of febuxostat and its metabolites in rat serum and urine was developed at various time points after oral administration to the rats. The febuxostat metabolites were predicted by biotransformation software and transformed to a personal compound database to quickly determine the possible metabolites from the MS1 data. The possibility of the MS/MS fragmentation was calculated by the Molecular Structure Correlator software. As a result, five phase I and two phase II metabolites in rat serum, and seven phase I and three phase II metabolites in rat urine were identified, of which four metabolites (M2, M5, M6, M7) have not been reported before. The metabolite toxicities are predicted, and the results are helpful for the design of new xanthine oxidoreductase inhibitors.  相似文献

Diazepam and its major metabolites, nordazepam, temazepam and oxazepam, in human urine samples, were analyzed by liquid chromatography (LC)/tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) using a hydrophilic polymer column (MSpak GF-310 4B), which enables direct injection of crude biological samples. Matrix compounds in urine were eluted first from the column, while the target compounds were retained on the polymer stationary phase. The analytes retained on the column were then eluted into an acetonitrile-rich mobile phase using a gradient separation technique. All compounds showed base-peak ions due to [M+H]+ ions on LC/MS with positive ion electrospray ionization, and product ions were produced from each [M+H]+ ion by LC/MS/MS. Quantification was performed by selected reaction monitoring. All compounds spiked into urine showed method recoveries of 50.1-82.0%. The regression equations for all compounds showed excellent linearity in the range of 0.5-500 ng/mL of urine. The limits of detection and quantification for each compound were 0.1 and 0.5 ng/mL of urine, respectively. The intra- and inter-day coefficients of variation for all compounds in urine were not greater than 9.6%. The data obtained from actual determination of diazepam and its three metabolites, oxazepam, nordazepam and temazepam, in human urine after oral administration of diazepam, are also presented.  相似文献

An improved screening method was developed for 3'-hydroxystanozolol and its 17-epimer in human urine involving gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) with N-isobutyloxycarbonyl (isoBOC) and O-trimethylsilyl (TMS) derivatization. A procedure was reported previously for the pentane extraction of many steroids from urine in doping control, but it was not suitable for the detection of stanozolol metabolites. Compared with the n-pentane extraction method, which gave a poor recovery (< 10%), isoBOC extraction resulted in a good recovery (> 80%). The sensitivity and specificity of mixed N-isoBOC-O-TMS derivatization were adequate for the detection of 3'-hydroxystanozolol and its 17-epimer when 3 ml of urine was used with spiking at a level of 2 ng ml-1. When applied to a stanozolol-positive urine sample, the proposed method allowed rapid and sensitive screening for the detection of 3'-hydroxystanozolol and its 17-epimer.  相似文献

A capillary electrophoresis (CE) method using laser-induced fluorescence (LIF) detection for the determination of the hypnotic drug zaleplon and its metabolites in human urine could be developed using carboxymethyl-beta-cyclodextrin as a charged carrier. By the help of a complementary HPLC method coupled to mass spectrometry, three metabolites present in human urine could be identified as 5-oxozaleplon, 5-oxo-N-deethylzaleplon and 5-oxozaleplon glucuronide. N-Deethylzaleplon, a previously described zaleplon metabolite, as well as zaleplon itself could not be detected in human urine by the CE-LIF assay. The results were confirmed by spiking with reference compounds of the phase I metabolites. The metabolites differed very much concerning their fluorescence intensities, thus the 5-oxo metabolites present as lactam tautomer fluoresced tenfold lower than the unchanged drug zaleplon and its N-deethylated metabolite. The glucuronide of the 5-oxozaleplon, however, showed high fluorescence due to its lactim structure. Limits of quantification yielded by the CE-LIF assay including a ten-fold preconcentration step by solid-phase extraction were 10 ng/ml for zaleplon and N-deethylzaleplon and 100 ng/ml for 5-oxozaleplon and 5-oxo-N-deethylzaleplon.  相似文献

The Thai medicinal plant Mitragyna speciosa (Kratom in Thai) is misused as a herbal drug of abuse. During studies on the main Kratom alkaloid mitragynine (MG) in rats and humans, several dehydro analogs could be detected in urine of Kratom users, which were not found in rat urine after administration of pure MG. Questions arose as to whether these compounds are formed from MG only by humans or whether they are metabolites formed from the second abundant Kratom alkaloid paynantheine (PAY), the dehydro analog of MG. Therefore, the aim of the presented study was to identify the phase I and II metabolites of PAY in rat urine after administration of the pure alkaloid. This was first isolated from Kratom leaves. Liquid chromatography–linear ion trap mass spectrometry provided detailed structure information of the metabolites in the MSn mode particularly with high resolution. Besides PAY, the following phase I metabolites could be identified: 9-O-demethyl PAY, 16-carboxy PAY, 9-O-demethyl-16-carboxy PAY, 17-O-demethyl PAY, 17-O-demethyl-16,17-dihydro PAY, 9,17-O-bisdemethyl PAY, 9,17-O-bisdemethyl-16,17-dihydro PAY, 17-carboxy-16,17-dihydro PAY, and 9-O-demethyl-17-carboxy-16,17-dihydro PAY. These metabolites indicated that PAY was metabolized via the same pathways as MG. Several metabolites were excreted as glucuronides or sulfates. The metabolism studies in rats showed that PAY and its metabolites corresponded to the MG-related dehydro compounds detected in urine of the Kratom users. In conclusion, PAY and its metabolites may be further markers for a Kratom abuse in addition of MG and its metabolites.  相似文献

Abstract

A rapid, sensitive, and specific liquid chromatographic‐electrospray ionization (ESI) tandem ion trap mass spectrometric method has been developed for identification of physostigmine and its metabolites in rat urine. 300 µg kg–1 of physostigmine were used as a safe oral gavage dose for studies on its metabolites. 0–24 h urine was purified using a C18 solid‐phase extraction cartridge, and then detected by an on‐line MS detector. Identification and structural elucidation of the metabolites were performed by comparing their MSn spectra with physostigmine. Six metabolites and unchanged physostigmine existed in rat urine. All of the metabolites were reported for the first time.  相似文献

Brahmi essence, developed from Bacopa monnieri (L.) Wettst. standardized extract and mulberry juice, was proven to improve the memory speed of healthy participants aged 55–80 years old, following a 12-week dietary program. However, the metabolites have not yet been reported. Our objective was to characterize the altered metabolites in the plasma, urine, and feces of healthy volunteers after consumption of Brahmi essence for 12 weeks, using the LC-MS metabolomics approach. The altered metabolites were selected from OPLS-DA S-plots; 15 metabolites in the plasma, 7 in the urine, and 17 in the feces samples were tentatively identified by comparison with an online database and literature. The metabolites in the plasma samples were in the classes of amino acids, acylcarnitine, and phospholipids. Benzeneactamide-4-O-sulphate and 3-hydroxyhippuric acid were found in urine samples. The metabolites in the class of amino acids, together with jujubogenin and pseudojujubogenin, were identified in the fecal samples. The aminoacyl-tRNA, aromatic amino acids, and branched-chain amino acid biosynthetic pathways were mainly related to the identified metabolites in all three samples. It could be implied that those metabolites and their pathways might be linked with the effect of Brahmi essence on memory speed.  相似文献
